Accommodation Pleasantly situated by the bridge in the centre of the village, just below the Millstones Inn, this delightful period property evokes a welcome charm and so much character. Though the date stone quotes 1886, Bridge End is believed to date back much further. In more recent times it was the village post office and shop and formerly it comprised three individual cottages. Link detached, it offers spacious, well planned accommodation and will appeal to many. The vendor bought the house in 1981 and has enjoyed many happy years here. In addition to the generous itinerary of accommodation, the delights that the brook offered convinced them to purchase. A haven for wildlife, it attracts all kinds of birds including kingfisher, dippers, ducks and heron and occasionally the deer come to drink the water. In the field opposite, lambs can often be seen in spring time. The property now appears rather tired and requires general updating which has been taken into account in the realistic asking price. There is evidence of rising damp in the living room which needs remedial treatment and the wiring is also outdated. As you enter you will notice the encaustic tiling to the floor, a popular decorative flooring in Victorian times. The spacious dining room has an exposed beam and built-in book shelving. It can accommodate a good number of people and is great for entertaining. The living room is of particularly generous proportions with three windows and a former door opening where there is now fitted shelving. This was the former Post Office entrance. A lovely room, refined and elegant with a feature stone fire surround and a coal effect living flame gas fire. The breakfast kitchen has a range of fitted units with a stainless steel sink unit and plumbing for a washing machine. Facing south the sun lounge provides a pleasing place to sit and relax, looking from the wide bay window down to the stream and across to the arched stone bridge. The weeping willow on the far bank providing shade for the ducks. We are informed by the vendor they enjoy riparian rights and have steps down to the brook. You will find it so relaxing to sit on the bench by the water's edge. From within the house stone steps take you to the cellar with cross ventilation provided by windows in the front and rear walls. It has a stone flagged floor and adequately high ceilings. The central heating boiler is kept here also. On the first floor you will find three good bedrooms. Two large doubles and an ample single. They share a house bathroom consisting of a panelled bath with Mira Sport electric shower over, pedestal washbasin and low suite wc. Outside there is a car-port providing off-road parking and stone steps take you to a stone walled patio style garden with a stone potting shed complete with water and stainless steel sink. A further set of steps take you to a terraced seating area by the brook where two clematis drape an arch and you can look upstream beneath the stone bridge and maybe you will see the kingfisher! An excellent opportunity to re-invigorate a landmark village property and add value. Viewing Strictly by appointment with the Agents. (PIQ available on request). (18g16)
